I love when @autumncalabrese says this during our workouts! It always encourages me to push harder, because I know that by pushing harder, I'm making myself stronger 💪🏼 When you push play today, give your all and remember what you're working towards!
Kick Monday's butt!!!!👊🏼

"Didn’t you realize that your body is a sacred place, the place of the Holy Spirit? Don’t you see that you can’t live however you please, squandering what God paid such a high price for? The physical part of you is not some piece of property belonging to the spiritual part of you. God owns the whole works. So let people see God in and through your body." Sketch by @ayefisher ♥️

What, if anything, is holding you back from really going after your dreams? Tell me in the comments below! I know for myself it’s my complete lack of confidence in what I am capable of.
The next time you start to doubt your abilities, tell yourself these three things: "I am confident." "I am capable." "I am equipped." Now its Monday so GO KILL SHIT! 🖤

HAPPY MONDAY FRIENDS!
Here is an unrelated pic of me at the gym because I will not actually be at the gym this week.
I’ve been having some issues with my lower back the past couple of weeks and it hasn’t been getting any better, so I made the decision to take a week off. Honestly it was a hard decision to make, I love lifting and it just feels weird to not work out. I still plan on still staying active, especially because I sit at a desk all day (yay for office jobs) so I will be going on a long walk each night.
I’m not looking at this as a setback. It’s more like one step back and two steps forward. I know my body needs the extra recovery time and I will be glad I took it once I’m back in the gym. One week isn’t going to “ruin”’ your progress and it’s okay to take time off when you need it—whether that’s for recovery, vacation, or just some extra “you time” 🤗🤗

The photo on the left was me collecting my deliveroo from downstairs which is something I often did in 3rd year 😅
I didn't like wearing these jeans at all but they were one of the only pairs that would fit me. |

To the photo on the right now wearing my old work top and it being too big on me and my legs looking slimmer. All round just a much happier person 🙌🏼

Find that determination and don't give up 🌟
